Has there been any further update on Roy's back and if he'll make his start next Wednesday? The last I heard is that he felt as if he had gotten hit by a sledge hammer. Not exactly what his owners wanted to hear...

Just some good news for everyone. Sounds like his back is fully healed and he'll be ready to play this Wednesday.

RHP Roy Oswalt long-tossed before the game and will throw a bullpen session on Saturday. Oswalt, 5-3 with a 3.11 ERA, said he's fully recovered from a mid-back strain that's had him on the disabled list since Tuesday.

Fantasy Analysis
Oswalt will start next Wednesday against at Wrigley Field. He hopes to make five starts before the All-Star break. "Just need to win all those and get back on track," Oswalt said. Reserve him until further notice, but it seems that he'll be ready to pitch once he's eligible to return. When healthy, Oswalt is among Fantasy's elite aces.

I got him for Verlander and Ty Walker because of the DL stint. Let the good times roll.
